alright...you guys have never failed me before with your acoustical abilities. So here is what I am dealing with. my project studio is in my basement. The isolation room - is all concrete but there are a few spots where pipes come through the concrete and there are spaces that allow sound to travel from the laundry room in to the iso room.

Well folks, it's been a long time a-comin;, but today was the day. I've been reluctant (downright superstitious, even) to mention it publicly, but the deals all finally worked out and a dream gig happened for us today.

alright I'm pretty new to this recording stuff but... This summer I'm setting a little home studio-esque type thing and I need some input on what to get.

First of all I plan on getting pro tools (the edition you can get at guitar center or musiciansfriend) I'd rather not get Cubase since I've used it before, and I've only seen professional studios use pro tools.

Moderaters. delete this if you wish, but I think a lot of people are in my shoes.

Do you want to help me build up a studio? (I wanna steal your thougth!)

Rigth now i am thinking of building up a guitar rack, but i dont have a clue what to get, i currently have a pod xt live but it sounds like crap. should I run the rack system through the amp and then record with a mic or is the rack system just DI?

Thougth you could perhaps assist me, what i currently have is a laptop, mlx mic, m box, electric kit, drumkit from hell sample and a guitar of course.

What i need now is for you good people to tell me what equipment i need to achieve this kind of sound:

what i already had in mind was:

Hello,

Do you think this can be interesting ?

Since no one here seems to know of any contractors in the area where I live I have decided I am going to just build it myself and when it comes time to do electrical then hire someone. What I need to know are the steps in building a basement studio.

I just bought an Alesis DM Pro, and connected it up with my Korg Triton. For some reason the sound from the keyboard (Triton) is short and distorted.
Is it my trigger settings?

I'm in the beginning (planning) stages of building a basement recording studio and was wondering on about how much power would be needed to run a small studio. I know its a very vague question but i am just looking for an estimate.

Thanks,
Will S.
